Sometimes I feel like were in a ZOO.
Sometimes I feel like I have 4 wild animals that live in this house.
The kids AND I are sick right now and I feel a little HOUSE-TRAPPED!
I feel like they are BORED and am REMINDED of TRAINING....
In times like these I feel like a CRAZY WOMAN trying to just DEAL.
An animal trainer TRYING to train these little souls.
In honor of THIS FEELING, I thought I would remind MYSELF of what the bible says about TRAINING your kids:
Proverbs 22:6
Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.
Proverbs 13:24
He who spares the rod hates his son, but he who loves him is careful to discipline him.
Proverbs 19:18
Discipline your son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.
Proverbs 22:15
Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.
Proverbs 23:13-14
Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish him with the rod, he will not die. Punish him with the rod and save his soul from death.
Proverbs 29:15
The rod of correction imparts wisdom, but a child left to himself disgraces his mother.
Proverbs 29:17
Discipline your son, and he will give you peace; he will bring delight to your soul.
This kind of training REQUIRES CONSTANT DILIGENCE...
So much in fact that, lets be honest, sometimes we feel like were failing.
I always struggle with the feeling of "Im not doing enough".
Maybe its actually ME who needs more training....
More training in TRAINING our kids!!!!
